Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

As a consequence, all the work of the work-study students was taken over by the group of students led by Xiao Chenyu.

And they continue to receive their wages as work-study students.

This can be considered a small price Xiao Chenyu paid for losing to Tang San... Xiao Chenyu was willing to accept it.

Even though he was the son of the city lord, he was unwilling to offend Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had a hundred-year-old soul ring as the first soul ring holder.

A genius soul master with innate full soul power who can obtain a hundred-year soul ring in his first soul ring position is obviously not someone he and his father can afford to offend.

This operation saved Lin Mo a lot of time, allowing him to focus more on cultivating his soul power and spending time in the library.

After six months of training, his soul power level has reached level nine.

While the effects of the rudimentary meditation method were less than satisfactory, the combined effect of the Little Fire Dragon Egg's passive enhancement meant that his innate level six soul power cultivation speed was already showing a tendency to surpass the cultivation speed of a typical innate full-soul power soul master. Hmm.

……

The college cafeteria, first floor.

"Lin Mo, you and Tang San, aren't you going to class again?"

Xiao Wu glanced at Lin Mo and Tang San, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, and said in a bored voice.

"I'm not going." Lin Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I've already been exempted from academic classes, and the courses on martial spirit theory are taught too superficially these days. I'd rather go to the library and study on my own."

"I'll just follow the teacher's instructions," Tang San said softly after a moment's hesitation.

He is the only outlier among the many students at Notting Academy. Although he is officially a student of Notting Academy, he is taught by Master Yu Xiaogang on a daily basis.

The dean of Notting Academy turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, tacitly approving of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's behavior.

Tang San remained a member of Notting Academy.

This was also partly his own selfish motivation. After all, Tang San's talent was undeniable, and even without guidance, he would surely become a genius who would leave his mark on the history of Notting Academy.

Keeping Tang San at Notting Academy would be entirely beneficial to them. In the future, they might even be able to enhance Notting Academy's reputation by helping Tang San enter the intermediate academy.

All they had to pay was a daily wage of ten copper soul coins, making it an extremely profitable deal.

"I really envy you guys..." Xiao Wu said helplessly as she put the last bite of rice into her mouth.

She had already mastered the basic meditation method taught in the martial spirit theory course during the two theoretical classes in the morning, even earlier than Lin Mo.

Moreover, even without the help of meditation, with the foundation brought by her 100,000-year-old soul beast cultivation, her cultivation speed would be no less than that of most innate full-soul power geniuses.

As for the other part, the knowledge about soul beasts, that was even less of a problem for her.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing her identity, Xiao Wu would have loved to correct the obvious mistakes made by the teachers who taught about soul beasts.

What gave her a headache were the cultural knowledge courses, which she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

For her, these kinds of lessons sounded like gibberish.

She didn't understand why she had to force a rabbit to learn to read.

"I've finished eating, so I'll be leaving now..."

Lin Mo picked up two stacked plates, stood up, and looked at Xiao Wu and Tang San, saying, "I'll have to trouble you two to cover for me again tonight. I'm not going back to the dorm tonight..."

"Are you going to cultivate in the back mountain of the academy again?" Tang San put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded. "The environment there suits me very well. My cultivation speed there is much faster than in the dormitory."

"Go ahead, go ahead, who told me to be your Little Wu sister?" Little Wu waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

"But you, eating so much every day, aren't you going to get sick?" Xiao Wu glanced at the stack of plates in Lin Mo's hands.

"You can eat the equivalent of two or three people's portions by yourself, and you finish all that food faster than those of us who normally only eat one serving. Aren't you afraid of getting indigestion?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, that's absolutely not the case," Lin Mo said with a smile. "If I had enough money in my pocket, I could have eaten even more."

He wasn't exaggerating this point; after awakening his heart-based martial soul with blood attached, his heart was already much stronger than others'.

Just like other Soul Masters with their own Soul Mastery, the corresponding part of the Soul Master will be strengthened after the Soul Mastery is awakened.

Lin Mo's heart and blood were no exception, and not only his heart, but all his other internal organs also benefited greatly, most notably in their enhanced digestive and absorptive abilities.

The village chief's initial generosity helped him through his most difficult period, and after gaining the right to freely enter and exit the library, he found a part-time job.

With Director Su's approval, he got a new job organizing books in the library, which was much easier than his part-time job, but the pay was the same.

This is enough to barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure.

This change made Lin Mo even more curious. Could it be that the next stage of his heart-based martial soul evolution would be the five internal organs?

However, this was just a guess by Lin Mo, before his second martial soul had truly evolved.

The only thing he can be sure of right now is that the final stage of the evolution of the Heart Martial Soul will definitely be the entire body.

But he wasn't quite sure what steps to take.

……

After saying goodbye to the two, Lin Mo summoned the little fire dragon egg again, held it in his arms, and strode out of the cafeteria.

He set off towards the back mountain of the academy. His current soul power level has reached the peak of level nine. In two more days at most, he will be able to complete the breakthrough in one go.

For others, level 10 soul power is a prerequisite for obtaining their first soul ring, but for Lin Mo, acquiring the soul ring is secondary; the most important thing is the hatching of the little fire dragon.

This is why Lin Mo left the dormitory to cultivate in the secluded back mountain of the academy. The hatching of the little fire dragon is extremely important to him, and he cannot be disturbed by anyone!

The other people in the cafeteria were already used to this scene.

They were also aware that among the new work-study students at Notting Academy this year was a peculiar individual named Lin Mo, who had awakened a fairly good innate level six soul power but possessed such a useless martial soul.

They couldn't figure out what use this martial spirit was. It couldn't be eaten, it couldn't be used to fight... As for touching it? Lin Mo never allowed anyone else to touch his martial spirit.

Many people even believe that Lin Mo's martial soul is inferior to Tang San's awakened Blue Silver Grass, since Blue Silver Grass can at least exert considerable combat power in Tang San's hands.

Thanks to his habit of wandering around the academy with an egg in his arms, many people have started calling him the "egg-carrying boy."

Whether those words were meant as a joke or a taunt is something only they themselves know.
